Commonwealth Games Delhi 2010 Song A R Rahman

There might have been delays and lapses in the run-up to the Commonwealth Games, but External Affairs Minister S M Krishna says the troubled event will be "off to a flying start" once A R Rahman renders the welcome song on October three.

In a musical stampede of sorts ahead of the Commonwealth Games, another theme song was launched on Tuesday, this time for the volunteer programme in an effort to "connect" with the masses.

Defending the music maestro A R Rahman over the Commonwealth Games theme song fiasco, melody queen Lata Mangeshkar has said that people should not expect every song of this genius composer to be a rocking hit.
